The IT Management for Business course is really interesting and covers a broad spectrum of IT topics. I’m really enjoying it and believe it will benefit me both personally and professionally.

University-based learning

Teaching will take place one day a week in the University over 44 weeks a year. This will allow a two week break at both Christmas and Easter and a four week break in the summer.

Work-based learning

Graduate Apprenticeships at the University of Dundee are project-based degrees. We will engage with employers to find projects that apprentices can undertake as part of their employment and apply the skills and knowledge acquired through their study.

Eligibility

The Graduate Apprentice must be resident in Scotland at the start of the programme.

Their usual place of work must be in Scotland.

They should not already have a qualification at the same level in the same subject.

They should also meet the University’s entry requirements.

Coming to university was a little daunting initially because it was out of my comfort zone but the Graduate Apprenticeship has been a brilliant experience and very beneficial. The staff are really friendly and supportive and as well as learning new skills and knowledge, it’s enhanced my existing ones.
